What's funny is that in my language, we say "hoy" for like hey, and it sounds so similar to "chuj" !! I always have to watch when I say hoy, especially around my boyfriend's parents. haha I don't want them to think I'm calling their son a d*ck.

This popped up (no pun intended) last week during a terrific fun garden party near Wadowice. The lesson from what occurred, is, when a mixed group are conversing in Pol-glish, the question "who are you?" (spoken quickly) can cause confusion. Happily, it caused peals of laughter.

I recommend you polish dictionary of slang -miejski.plI found this dictionary terrific, just try to find some funny phrases and Poles surely and with pleasure would translate it for you ...

There is one word commonly used in Poland, while it originates from Russia - I mean "swołocz" /(svoloch - singular) , more polish is "hołota" (plural) - riff-raff, rabble and so on. A to swołocz jedna, gad ! / How mean he is, rabble, reptile !

Less or more offending are : łachudra, łajza, pipa, łamaga, pierdoła, lamer, lafirynda.

£achudra/ lakhudra and łajza/layza mean usually dirty and unpleasant people, probably menels(bum, tramp) and without home(łajza).

Pipa is another word for "cipa", "pizda", "ciota", not very offending. Popular : ty głupia pipo ! you stupid c.unt !

£amaga, pierdoła/pyerdola - that's how you would call a person, who can't do anything correctly or without hurting oneself (muff ?).

Lafirynda - women of easy virtue, much lighter than "kurwa".

There is also "dupodajka(female), dupodajek(male)"- those, who have a sex with everyone wanting it (not exactly a wh.ore, rather sl.ut).

Lamer - person who pretends to be very smart and knowning on computers, but in fact who's sucker. You would call "lamer" sb who writes like that : hI eVerYYYboDy and generally is "zajebiście" annoying. Contemptuous.

Only substitute flipping for a slightly stronger word and find a more grown-up yet more coarse thing to call the male member.I'm just interested (ever-so-slightly) how you knew how to spell it correctly.

my best friend is polish and he tried to teach me some words a few years ago and some were slang or swear words. i think the one word was pronounced 'zee a bach', but i have no idea how to spell it or what it means. can somebody help me. thanks.

thanks bartolome! i think my friend taught me that so i'd know it in case i heard it when we were out one time with alot of polish speaking people. i felt stupid asking him what it meant again so thank you.

A friend of mine told me how to say "What's up?" or "How's it Going?".He said it was something like (Tsoh tahm) or so tam?He's the kind of guy that likes to play tricks so I want to know if I am really saying Hello or using an explicative. Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm browsing through this topic but I can't find the answer. Are there any common swear phrases (not just words) in Polish?

The other day my colleague asked me which swearing I found most offensive in Polish - well, I don't know. Do you often say things like "F*** your (wh*re etc.) mother (etc.)" when you're really pissed off? 'Cause one day I accidentally whacked me head in something and managed to shout out like that (po węgiersku), and she went, "Wow, that sounded so long." :)
